You
have at your fingertips a set of lessons in professional writing style
that gives you explanations, examples, exercises, and answers for the
following topics:

Preferring Active Voice

Denominalizing (turning verbs masquerading as nouns back
into verbs)

Trimming Fat

Reducing Jargon

Unraveling Adjective-Noun Strings, Reducing Preposition
Sprawl

Using Parallel Form

Being Emphatic and Coherent

Using Modifiers

Choosing the Right Words

Mastering Punctuation

Using Ethical and Inoffensive Language

Finding the Right Tone

These units of instruction are deliberately ordered in the
sequence shown above; they build upon one another, and sometimes a lesson
will refer to an earlier lesson. However, unless your instructor otherwise
directs, you are free to work through these tutorials selectively, and
in any order you choose. You know your own strengths and weaknesses. Maybe.

These lessons will strengthen your stylistic power no matter
what your discipline, but they will be particularly helpful to you if
you are a student, or professional, in engineering, science, business,
or technical communication. These tutorials do not attempt to take you
through every possible aspect of style, but they focus on core topics:
the most important stylistic guidelines for professional writing. I know
that writing style is not everyone's favorite topic of study, so I've
done my best to make these tutorials enjoyable and fast paced.
